Mom Life and Law
Mom Life and Law gives lawyer moms strategies on how to thrive in the face of the soul-crushing expectation to both parent as if they have no job, and lawyer as if they have no children. As a mom to two toddler boys and a litigator, Megan Whiteside is on a mission to empower lawyer moms find clarity and happiness in their lives. Megan helps lawyer moms to reframe their mindset, own their power, and set themselves up for success each week with reflections from her own journey and from inspiring interviews with women who own their power. In this podcast, you'll get mom advice to find joy in the chaos, coaching to help you tap into your power, career advice for when you're ready to step into a job that truly fulfills you, mentorship from the lawyer moms who paved the way ahead of us, insightful interviews, encouragement to brave the challenges of our male-dominated field, and so much more! Re-heat your coffee and set aside 30 minutes to feed your soul.
